The small item above is from "American Carbonator and American Bottler" January 15, 1904. I should check to see if a future issue of this periodical indicated that this businessman was dealing with a mouse problem in his bottling factory.
Here is another wonderful suggestion from "American Carbonator and American Bottler" of the same date. Are you having expensive price wars with a competitor in your town? Solution! Meet for a friendly dram once a week, fix prices, and make more money.
